GDT: 2022 NHL Free Agency

[SteveCangialosi123]

Give Bratt 7.6, the halfway point between Nico and Jack

Rangers just upgraded in goal and at 2nd line center with Halak and Trocheck. They're going to be extremely tough next year.

Losing all their depth, still gonna be a bad 5v5 team

Johnny to the isles would be extremely funny

In goal? I would say it's a wash at the very best.

Georgiev wasn't any good, but look at Halak's last two years and he's 37 years old.

I fully expect Igor to play more games next year than he did this last year, so in a way they probably did upgrade in goal.

 

[Normal Devil]

Johnny to the isles would be extremely funny

It would be dumb

 

[FooteBahl]

He is as plugged in as it gets for them.

Could be down to us vs Grandpa

One more Lou asspounding on the way out.

[Guttersniped]

Apparently he's the most reliable local Philly reporter

He’s too small, isn’t he?



He would take a discount! Hayes got 7.14m from Fletcher in 2019!

 

[Mr Bojanglez]

I would like to emphasize just how brutal that commute is to Long Island. It gets worse every year. Rangers are out of it. Not sure if Caps have any interest. But he's looking at a 2 hour drive at best from Long Island. Routinely could be 4 hours, depending on the time of the day.

It would be a miracle for them to get better goaltending than they got last year. Even accounting for Halak being better than Georgiev. And Trocheck seems more like a lateral move from Copp.

It's days like this that working nights really sucks. I didn't get to sleep until like 6 this morning, woke up at 9, and have to be to work at 5 tonight. Make a decision Johnny so I can get a nap in yet before work.

I really should just take draft and free agency days off.

 

[Homedresser]

folks ne

Good players deserve to get paid and Bratt is pretty easily worth over 7M. Getting him for less than that is a dream.

people need to slow down a bit with Bratt. His point total went up 2.5X in a contract year. I actually think Fitz is too smart to sucked into a contract that will be an albatross. He had a nice season on a really bad team. Again all while playing for his next contract. He's exactly the kind of player that gets a contract that gets a gm fired. 1 year wonder and gets huge deal that never lives up to expectations.

 

[Hisch13r]

What kind of criminal underpay is this going to be?

 

[SKNJD9]

 

[Guttersniped]

If Gaudreau wants to play for Philly he'll go to Philly.

The only thing that keeps Gaudreau off of the Philadelphia Flyers is them not offering him a contract.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Bratt’s underlying metrics absolutely supported his breakout and I guarantee Fitz knows that.

 

[StevenToddIves]

I'm going back to sleep, but I just want all Devils fans to give Fitzgerald some credit -- even if Gaudreau signs elsewhere, this is two years in a row that Fitzgerald made a concerted effort to sign the best free agent on the market.

I know most of the people on HFBoards are cool and get this, but on social media a lot of people are making it seem as if Fitzgerald's job hinges on signing Johnny Gaudreau, and I just don't feel this way. Fitzgerald has done quite well on the trade market and in signing his players, and is coming off a terrific draft. I'm very encouraged by this performance.

 

[NJersey]

i don't like this taking so long

 

[Devils Army]

What kind of criminal underpay is this going to be?

...think again about that underpayment...

 

[Normal Devil]

i don't like this taking so long

Took until 5:00 pm last year for Dougie

 

[Alex NJD]

i don't like this taking so long

Entire top 6 market is except maybe Kadri is hinging on Gaudreau

 

[Hisch13r]

Wow didn't expect it to come in this high

 

[Mr Bojanglez]

Sometimes i think Sergachev is so good. And then other times i'm watching him and think hes getting out performed by the opposition. Meh - either way not my problem.

EDIT = 8x8.5? Not sure how i feel about that.
